You are invited to submit an abstract to the following special session
at the Fall AGU meeting, which will be held on 11-15 December 2006 in
San Francisco, California:
Session OS 21 "Tectonic and Paleoclimatic History of the Arctic Ocean
Basin: Results from HOTRAX and Other Arctic Ocean Research Programs"
The history of the Arctic Ocean is the missing piece for many models,
tectonic and paleo-climatic, of earth history. Recent cruises to the
central Arctic Ocean on board the US Coast Guard icebreaker Healy have
collected multi-channel seismic reflection, refraction, gravity, and
bathymetry data and cores, to build a continuous transect across the
Arctic Ocean. These data expose the internal structure of the ridges,
plateau, and basins that segment this region and provide critical
constraints on paleo-climate and the history of sea ice. This session
will highlight the results of the two HOTRAX cruises conducted on board
the USCG Healy during the summer of 2005, but submissions are welcomed
from other scientists studying the paleo-climate and tectonics of the
Arctic Ocean basin.
Abstracts submitted via the online submission form
(http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm06/) MUST be received by Thursday, 7
September 2006 at 2359 UT (Universal Time). Late submissions will not be
accepted by AGU.
